Everybody thinks there Mick Schumacher when they get behind the wheel of a car. They hear of accidents, but think the same rules don't apply to them. They either don't see any danger or just don't care.<br/><br/>I see it every morning on my commute to college along twisty country roads. People passing me at around 80-90 MPH and i keep thinking to myself 'just get up 5 minutes earlier, you freaking Jackass!'. Good post Simon.

People just don’t give a feck. Everybody thinks there Mick Schumacher when they get behind the wheel of a car. They hear of accidents, but think the same rules don’t apply to them. They either don’t see any danger or just don’t care.

In your example maybe nothing delayed the lady the 10 seconds at home maybe she new that bend was coming and so slowed down even further which caused he geting their 10 seconds later.<br/><br/>By the way there was over 750 road deaths in Lebanon last year.
